1817 N-7 R7 (as a die state) PCGS AU Details Environmental Damage
Sharpness EF45 but covered with extremely fine roughness, strongest at OF-AMER. The toning is a slightly glossy dark olive brown and steel. No verdigris or notable marks. This cent offers nice eye appeal in spite of the dark color and microscopic roughness. Extremely rare EDS before the "Mouse Top" break on top of the head. An important example of this popular die state, possibly the finest known. Our grade is net VF25. The Holmes example, graded VF30 sharpness net F15 for microscopic roughness, brought $4255 as lot 41 in the 5/30/2010 McCawley & Grellman/Goldberg sale. This piece is significantly nicer than the Holmes coin. A great opportunity for the serious collector of Middle Date Large Cents.
